Larry Strickling Et Al: Internet Governance in a Post-American World (video)


Passing the Torch: How Will Internet Governance Change in a Post-American World? - "How the Internet is governed will change significantly in the year ahead, as the U.S. government anticipates relinquishing its oversight of key technical functions to ICANN and China launches a competing institution to encourage greater state control of the Internet. This creates significant uncertainty and raises important questions for stakeholders around the world. Does ICANN have the institutional capacity and leadership ability to take on its new role? How will the rapidly changing environment impact Internet policy in coming years? And who will be the biggest winners and losers?" Streamed LIVE on March 17, 2016.

Comments from the panel: 

Zuck: "The [multistakeholder] process is an ugly process ... the fact that everyone is dissatisfied with this [IANA Transition & ICANN Accountability] proposal is a testament to its success ... there is no one that is happy with everything in this proposal"

Sheckler: "The Devil is in the Details"
